Welcome Little One

I made this as part of a 4 card set for welcoming a little one. I recently sold a bunch of cards at work to make some money for the sixth graders to pay for sixth grade camp. I was actually shocked at how many people bought a card! My mom came and took a bunch more... I actually cleaned out a good deal of my stash! I meant to replenish it this week... but then I discovered Twilight. It was like heroin! hahaha! Anyway I finished up the last book on Thursday night. So I should soon be free of the Twilight haze. Out of the four books (all incrediably long by the way... like 500 plus pages) I think the first one was the very best. Something about it, it was just perfect. I did like all three, including the fourth one which I guess many people didnt like. I didnt really think they were "teenager" books but I could totally see the teenage appeal. The teenage heroine did wear on my 36 year old nerves on occaison. But really if you havent read them you should definitely try them out. Next up on my list is a book by Lisa Kleypas called Blue Eyed Devil. Its a sequel to her book Sugar Daddy. I love her writing. Total romance but deliciously yummy. How quickly I can digress! Anyway back to the card... Baby Card made with PTI's bitty baby... which I have to confess is not a set I use often, I have even contemplated selling it. (Shocking!) The sentiment is from the anniversary set. Card color is hibiscus. PP is bitty dot in sweet blush. Used a fiskars punch on the bitty dot. Picked up that punch for a steal at Tuesday Morning. Hibiscus ribbon and some dew drops round it out. Have a fabulous Friday!

Looking for a Charity? Consider Donors Choose.

Donor's Choose is a charity that helps teachers fund projects for their classrooms. I am a elementary school science teacher and have used Donor's Choose to fund projects I can't get the school to pay for and don't have the money to pay for myself. The link goes to my personal page and links up any current projects I am trying to fund. Once there you can also see the projects of many other teachers.

About Me

Just another mom of two, thirty (uh now forty- yikes) something year old whose life has all the excitement of a snail. Quite a long time ago I started this blog to comment on the blogs of others- but along the way I fell in love with papercrafts and now this blog is my showcase. Occasionally you will still read some of my rants, you might see some pictures of my kiddos, and sometimes you might catch my exercise woes. If you would like to use a picture or idea, please ask- I am almost always happy to share. You can contact me at derbylea at sbcglobal dot net.
